It was was a great surprise TO all intel
ligent people when the news came from
Prescott that Cornwall had been appoint
Cd President OF the Council. The fact
that such an ignoramus could be elected
to such position shows that the mental
calibre Of the council vas Of very poor
quality, or else that his election was the
result Of bargain with the Zulick- Parish
Foster & Co. outfit. Late developments,
showing the eager way in which Cornwall
obeys the bel,ests OF his masters, would
indicate that the latter is the case. What

From the annual report Of the va
rious Kansas railroads we learn that
the A. T. & 5. F. makes a particu-
larly good showing, its earnings this
year being sl5. .946, 1902, as compared
with I3,l42. .665.41, an increase Of
$2,sO3,474, while last years report
showed q decrease Of $S26, ,95+.
The Southern Kansas also makes
a fine showing. It's total earnings
this year were $2,367 ,955, and it,
total expenses, including operating
expenses, taxes, rentals and interest
were s., 800, sol, leaving about $G7 600
in favor of the company, while last
year its total earnings were ~, l67, ,l70,
making a deficit that yesr OF
tll4,O93.53.
The business Of the Missouri Pa
ciflc has not materially increased
during the year, the total earnings
this year being $40, sS,8O4, as COM
pared with $40, CAS-, AZ this year; but
the year has been much more un-
profitable than last year. In lss6
the company had s,5l7, ,lO6 left after
paying taxes, interest and all ex-
penses. This year there Is a deficit
Of 81, ,Sl7 ,24T.s7 instead.
The Central Branch, Union Pacific
makes q very good showing. Its
total earnings this year, which are
about the same as last year, are
s744, ls5 in excess Of the operating
expenses.
The Union Pacific's statement Is
the best that has been made for sew
eral years. There was a great in
crease in the business Of the COM
pany, the total earnings Of the COM
pany having increased from SlT, $751;
74I.55 in 1855 to s19,OS7, ,e9S.21 in lsS7.
The surplus Of earnings after deduct

pared with ST91, ,2l4 last year.
There has been q remarkable in
crease this year in the earnings Of
the st. Louis, & San Francisco. Its
earnings this year are $3.50, ,O6s as

There is a surplus this year of nesrly |
81 .OOO, 600 after expenses are paid.
While there has been = very great |
increase in the business Of the Mis-
